Beta Testing really can occur when the creator decides they want to, because they can easily be testing everything in parts. That is the case with what I have to do for class, hence Beta Testing is exactly what I mean. Thus I am not quite a few steps away from Beta Testing this mod because the Beta Testing Points that I have set (but had no one to test the mod) are actually further than being up, the first one is past due.
Beta Testing 1 was to be done after all the NEW Races were added to the game, this was completed back on 8/23/2010. Thus it is time for a Beta Testing to be done and I have no one that is willing to or even will say that they will. I’ve already sent messages out to a few modders and it turns out they are either not modding Star Trek Armada II anymore well other e-mails were bounced back. I truly need some Beta Testers.
The next Beta Testing is to be completed after all the Stock Races have had all their additions added one at a time and tested by me. Then the mod is to be sent to the same Beta Testers that took part in the First Stage of Beta Testing.
The Third and Final Beta Testing is to be completed after the Fourth Campaign is completed. This is the point where all the crashing errors will/should have been solved and the mod is either ready for release (if I was planning on releasing it) but for this mods case, its when the final project is to be handed in.
After all that is done, the mod will be set for my use along with the use of my friends who I sometimes let use my lap when I’m at their houses.
I guess what I’m saying is I’ve been in the need for Beta Testers since 8/23/2010 but haven’t been able to get anyone to do just that. Part of the reason that might be is because my Professor has ruined my good name and has made me look like a bad guy when I’m not that at all. The other part is I don’t want to have to ask for permission yet to release the mods that I’ve decided to use just to actually get the mod tested. What I really need is Beta Testers who are willing to overlook the part of getting permissions since this is a personal mod meant to be a college project with the final outcome of being a form of gaming entertainment for me and the users of my laptop. So I guess if you’re willing to be a Beta Tester, please send me a message here.
